Lol. First of all, the shard doesn't even peak 100 players lol. Second of all, like 10 people on the shard would like to mine. Third of all, you have like TOPS 2-3 players that have macros that allows them to mine afk.
I actually don't see the difference between mining afk and making scrolls/pots/black widows/daggers afk... In the end it's all about making money afk one way or another, and to be honest mining probably isn't the most profitable.

Making things afk from resources you have already gotten is one thing. GETTING resources WITHOUT EFFORT is another. They're two, very distinct topics. Nobody makes black widows afk lol. Daggers/pots/scrolls for training purposes and selling are made from previous earned resources.

Do people not understand that if you open the flood gates that no skill will be worth training, because everyone will be 49x? Do you honestly not see how that would change things?

I don't understand where the disconnect is in people's reasoning, but it doesn't make sense to allow AFK resourcing. May as well just .set all skills to GM upon creation of new character.
